Poppy Seed Ham Rolls Appetizers

Of all the things I made at my holiday party, these Poppy Seed Ham Rolls were the first to be gobbled up. In fact, I took pictures all the way through making them, and then didn’t get a picture of my final product because they went so fast! I’m not surprised. This easy appetizer recipe steals the show every single time. They are not difficult to make, and the best part is you can make them ahead and pop them in the freezer.

Now, keep in mind, because you are making these with dinner rolls, this recipe can be pricey. At many places you will find these can run as much as $4 per pack of rolls, so if you want to make them, keep an eye out for a sale.

• TIP #1:  A friend shared with me that she uses hamburger buns instead of dinner rolls to lower her cost. I  love that idea.
• TIP #2:  I use a microplane to grate the onion, so it is kind of juicy and runny.
• TIP #3:  The poppyseeds don’t add to the taste and are pretty pricey.  So, you can leave them out and they only take away from the looks, not the taste!

Here’s what you’ll need:

• 1 stick butter
• 2 tablespoon dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon poppy seeds (optional)
• 2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon grated onion
• 8 ounces thinly sliced ham
• 2 (6 ounce ) packages Swiss cheese
• 2 packages rolls (in tin pans)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Combine butter, mustard, poppy seeds, Worcestershire, and onion into a small sauce pan and heat until butter is melted.

While that is heating through, remove rolls from pan and slice in half and remove the top, like a sheet.
Pour 1/4 of butter mixture on bottom layer of rolls.

Layer ham and cheese.

Then top with another 1/4 of the butter mixture.
Then put roll top on.  Repeat with second pan.
Place in oven for 15 minutes or until cheese is melted and it is heated through.
Slice along roll lines and remove from pan to serve.
